Mary Redferne Chapter 22
Mary Redferne I sat at home, watching the clock tick towards seven, the time Joseph had promised to be home. The day had been dull, and I couldn't shake the feeling that I needed to find a job again.I am not meant to be a stay at home housewife.When the doorbell rang precisely at seven, I raised my eyebrows in surprise, impressed by Joseph's punctuality. Opening the door, I was greeted by his signature shy smile and a bouquet of pink flowers in his hands."I was going to bring red roses, but I remembered this is your favourite colour, so I bought these. I hope you like them," he said softly as he handed me the flowers. I stood there, dumbfounded by his gesture.I didn’t know that he knew what my favourite colour was."You brought flowers for me?" I asked, confusion evident in my voice. "Why?""Because... I thought you'd like them," he replied nervously, his sincerity touching my heart. I felt tears welling up in my eyes at the simple act of kindness. I don’t think I’ve ever receiv

Mary Redferne As we approached Joseph's mother's house, I noticed a somber expression on her face. It was clear that something was amiss. She greeted us with a forced smile, but her eyes betrayed her true emotions. As we exchanged pleasantries, she gently pulled Joseph aside, leaving me standing awkwardly in the entryway.I watched as they engaged in hushed conversation, their voices barely audible from where I stood. Joseph's mother wore a pained expression, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease wash over me. What was going on?After a few moments, Joseph returned to my side, his expression grim. His mother approached me, her eyes filled with regret as she spoke. "Mary, I'm sorry for my brother's behavior," she said, her voice tinged with sadness. "He's waiting inside, but please don't take his words to heart. He's irrational and angry."I nodded in response, trying to mask my frustration. It was infuriating how just because Joseph's uncle was an old, wealthy man, people fe

His shoulders drooped, and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. It was obvious that his uncle's behaviour had affected him deeply.But he would never admit it, he was too nice to do that.The clock struck 11 pm as we sat in silence, the only sound the faint hum of the air conditioning and the occasional rustle of the pizza box as we finished our meal. Joseph seemed lost in thought, his brow furrowed with exhaustion.We parted ways to head to our own rooms after exchanging a faint goodnight. While I was in a good mood after dealing with Joshua, I noticed that Joseph seemed a bit tired, so I refrained from starting a conversation.But just as I was about to climb into bed, there came a gentle knock on my door, breaking the stillness of the night."Mary, wait, can we talk outside for a second?" His voice was soft, almost hesitant, as h

I struggled to maintain my composure as Joseph's gaze bore into mine, a silent exchange of unspoken desires passing between us.Unable to withstand the intensity of his stare, I looked away, feeling the heat rise to my cheeks. “What are you up to, mister?” I said teasingly as my attempt at nonchalance faltered as nervousness crept into my voice, betraying my true feelings. I tried to mask nervousness and shyness but, I was failing miserably and I hated it.As I placed my hands against his chest, attempting to push him away playfully, I found myself rooted in place, his gaze holding me captive.

There was so much I needed to tell her and I knew it was going to blow her mind. Joseph was in the kitchen, cooking breakfast, a sight that never failed to make me smile.I approached quietly, not wanting to disturb him as he worked his culinary magic. His back was turned to me, his broad shoulders hunched over the stove as he tended to the sizzling pans. The loose navy blue shirt he wore clung to his muscular frame, accentuating every contour of his body. Despite my best efforts to keep my gaze averted, I couldn't help but admire the way the fabric stretched taut over his biceps and shoulders, sending a flush of warmth creeping up my cheeks.Stop staring at your husband, Mary.I cleared my throat, trying to dispel the awkward tension that hung in the air. "Hey," I greeted him softly, my voice barely above a whisper.Joseph turned to face
